Just over a year ago, I wrote a blog post about a topic that’s very important to me, which is the problem of code rot, of software constantly breaking because of shifting foundations, and the toll it takes on programmers, and on society at large. We’re no doubt collectively wasting billions of dollars and millions of human hours every year because of broken software that should never have been bro
NoiseCraft: a Browser-Based Visual Programming Language for Sound & Music I’ve recently resumed work on a side-project I started back in 2019 to create a browser-based visual programming language for sound synthesis and music. I was initially hoping to make this a commercial SaaS product, but I got discouraged when I realized that running and promoting a business could easily become a second job o
The 1980s and 1990s saw the genesis of Perl, Ruby, Python, PHP and JavaScript: interpreted, dynamically-typed programming languages which favored ease of use and flexibility over performance. In many ways, these programming languages are a product of the surrounding context. The 90s were the peak of the dot-com hype, and CPU clock speeds were still doubling roughly every 18 months. It looked like
A few days ago, Elben Shira caught the attention of the programming blogosphere with his post entitled The End of Dynamic Languages. The key point from this post is in the following statement: This is my bet: the age of dynamic languages is over. There will be no new successful ones. Like him, I’ve noticed that despite the fact that there have been an enormous number of new programming languages c
When I started my PhD, back in 2009, I told my advisor I wanted to work on optimizing dynamic programming languages. A big part of my thesis was going to involve the implementation of a JIT compiler for some dynamic language, and so our discussion rapidly became focused on which language I should be working with. In the end, we ended up choosing JavaScript. It was a good compromise: a widely-used
